Hi Zombie Mod-Team,

I'm downlaoding it now and i'll give it a try within the next few days. I'm very curious about how the zombie virus is spread in the ancient world and which aftermaths it will have for my personal kind of play. And of course the era of the Diadochi is my favourite.

The Diadochi against Zombies... this will be Total War!

Greets, Mag

It's a spectacular project. Great job!

Great mod, but there are "battlofield" leftovers in the path of several files.
Had to rename descr_geography and descr_geography_DB to make the battles works
But the virus idea and implementation is quite original

Really good looking mod!

I will definitely download this piece of art in the near future!

If you haven't found a way yet to slow the zombies down, you could use the fatigue system of the RTR Project, give them very high heat values and no hardy or very hardy attributes, as a result they'll get exhausted almost instantly after the start of a battle and also give them slow skeletons. This will reduce their speed by slightly more than half, while non-zombie units will almost never get exhausted. I will also offer you our environment after I finished it. You can use our enlarged version of the RTH map too when it's finished, but this would require to redo the map_regions file and reposition of resources, armies, agents, e.t.c. Eventually you could cut the top of the map.

A suggestion - possibly change the map from countries or provinces to individual cities, villages and towns. Add ambush points in each village where zombie hordes wait to ambush passing armies. I once thought of doing a mod like this too! I was thinking of a mod where the whole map might only be 2 or 3 villages or towns. The scale of the armies would be small, perhaps only 100 to 200 soldiers each. The zombie hordes could number up to a thousand zombies. Just some ideas. Good job!!!!!

Hi there! I Love the idea of this mod, so i decided to play it! But im having problems getting this mod to work, the mod version on here currently works (the one without the Rome 2 Style Menu) and i like it, but i tried to download the one on MobDB and had some problems, i own the STEAM Version of Rome Total War, but i have no problem copying files to other places to get this mod to work. One complaint i have with this mod is that i cannot edit unit size, my pc isnt very beefy so i might have problems doing big battles, but anyways here is what happens, The mod loads just fine, i see the menu and it looks to be alright, i goto custom battles and set my options, i pick syrian flats, the game loads... and then i get an Error killing my game it says, Generic Error Failed to find texture 'data/terrain/battolfield/rocky_desert/summer/oz_rockydesert_summer_rock.tga'. Ok, now, i didnt mistype battlefield, it legit came up like that. so i tried renaming the REGULAR Rome total war battlefield files to battolfield, same with the ALX total war and even within the mod (i copied some files into the mod, like the ALX terrain folder), to see if it would work, no dice. I Tried replacing the l in battlolfield with I but still nothing. So i need some help, Thanks!

EDIT: I tried other maps, same problem expect different textures, they all lead to battolfield.

**Prince_Of_Ionia** · August 22, 2016, 01:44 PM

EDIT: I tried renaming the ALX RTW descr_geography to descr_geography_DB Didn't work

The problem with battolfield folder that usually appears is because you install the game wrong on steam. Try this guide [Steam]

1) Unpack the ZM archive to RTW alexander folder
2) Unpack the archive again to some folder. Copy the data folder from the unpacked archive to main RTW folder (not alexander).
3) Now go to RTW alexander steam launch options. Add there -mod:zombiemod -ne

I do not use Steam RTW so I am not sure this guide is right

**Prince_Of_Ionia** · August 23, 2016, 11:07 AM

Thanks 500xhp! It works! Im so glad i can finally try this mod, im not sure why this mod uses rome total war and not alx, cause i think the steam version of alx can be a standalone game. But no worries, i can just rename my data folders so when i want to play the mod. I have a one question. Will this mod ever be multiplayer? I have tried other mods like Rise of Persia multiplayer and it doesn't work, but i think ive seen it been done before, cause this mod would be awesome multiplayer. But other than that yeah, i love it. I like the Rome 2 Style Menu, is just that i cannot edit unit size in the options menu, is there any other way? But anyways, Thanks!

I wonder if there should a faction of Egyptian Mummies who had come back from the dead to save Egypt from the zombies and reclaim it from the Ptolemaic dynasty.
